Eh, it works.

You and I are of the same mind on this, though I’ll add that pink really does it for me...

Peridot slumped over listening to country music was one of my favorite, most identifiable, Peridot moments ever. Oh sad little slice of pie, have I been there.

It’s pro in my book, at any rate.

If you want a crystallization of Trump-fanboy mentality, it’s that quote. It’s not about making America stronger or striking a blow for freedom; it’s about being on top.

I know. I kind of feel bad for making the comparison. 14 year olds deserve more credit than these bozos.

Quite possible. I lost track, there was so much coming out.

Legacy was one of my favorite later additions to the EU because the time jump acted as a reset button and because it was, as you point out, meta. Plus it had actual decent writing.

Not literal, more, eh, literary. Same characters going back to the same locals over and over, everything having to refer back to something else, etc.

Everything I’ve read or seen about the Book of Henry tells me that we did indeed dodge a bullet there.

It wasn’t too bad at first, but somewhere in the late 90's-early 00's it just became too much. The EU was like a painting that collapsed under the weight of too many brush strokes.

As someone who was actually a fan of the old EU, I can honestly say that Disney canning it was a great decision. It had gotten far to overgrown and incestuous. Plus a fair bit of it was just schlocky and bad. It needed to be clear cut.

Well, they have the brains of 14 year olds at the very least.

“Han and Luke were written as incompetent father figures who are deadbeats, Poe is a victim of the ‘anti-mansplaining’ movement, and you just know they’ll turn the both of them gay.”

“Hating You for Christmas” by Everclear is an old favorite that gets more on point each year. No, I’m not bitter...

(Sorry for the delay. Life, you know?)

Ain’t it? If IDLES are up your alley, check out Drenge and Le Butcherettes, two of my favorite acts right now. Drenge is a kind of post-White Stripes approach to Nirvana-inspired alt-rock (I swear that’ll make sense when you hear them) and Le Butcherettes is some righteous Mexican/American feminist punk rock. Ho99o9…

That these petitions exist is exactly why The Last Jedi needed to happen.

Having worked many years in both: YUP. Those couple of words are “Fuck” and “off.”

Meanwhile, let’s see how Work-Work-Work is working out for Japan: http://www.businessinsider.com/japan-fertility-crisis-2017-4?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=auddev-test334
